Electrolytes – vital building blocks of the body
Electrolytes are minerals. They are chemical compounds that can conduct electrical current in aqueous solution. Most ions, electrically charged molecules or atoms, occur in the body as electrolytes. Some of these electrolytes are of paramount importance to the organism.
These include potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sodium. These minerals play an important role in both water balance and various cellular functions. In healthy individuals, the electrolytes inside and outside the cells maintain a constant balance, thereby regulating, among other things, the water balance in the cerebrospinal fluid, synovial fluid, or fluids in the gastrointestinal tract. They also regulate the pH value in the blood and support the functionality and interaction of nerve and muscle cells.
Since the body doesn't produce electrolytes itself, they must be absorbed through food and beverages. Isotonic and electrolyte-rich drinks are well-known for athletes, but so are the statements of people with a so-called "hangover": "I need electrolytes now!"
Electrolyte deficiency can be caused by vomiting, diarrhea, excessive sweating during exercise, heavy alcohol consumption, malnutrition, or endocrine gland dysfunction. Depending on which electrolyte is deficient, different symptoms occur.
A sodium deficiency can lead to cravings for salty foods, extreme fatigue and muscle weakness.
If the body lacks the electrolyte potassium, the affected person feels exhausted and weak and can suffer from leg cramps and constipation.
Muscle cramps and twitches are typical symptoms of calcium deficiency. An irregular heartbeat or even seizures can also occur with prolonged calcium deficiency.
If the electrolyte magnesium is lacking, slight twitching, difficulty swallowing and impaired sense of orientation usually occur.
Food supplement for the preparation of a carbohydrate-electrolyte solution, with sweeteners
Medicom's Electrolyte Effervescent Tablets are a convenient, compact product for preparing a carbohydrate-electrolyte solution at any time. They provide a balanced combination of sodium, potassium, chloride, and dextrose (a type of sugar). The absorption of the supplied electrolytes from the intestine is supported by the presence of sugar.
Electrolyte effervescent tablets contain an optimal composition of salts, minerals and dextrose and thus support the body's regeneration after fluid loss.
When the body lacks fluid
Do you know how much water the body needs per day? There's no simple, general answer to this question, as it depends on various factors. What is certain is that the human organism is made up of more than 70 percent water. Babies are made up of almost 95 percent. Fluid loss occurs constantly through the skin – our largest organ –, the intestines, and kidneys. Fluid is also excreted when we breathe. This is why we feel thirsty and need to drink fluids. Experts recommend that adults drink at least 1.5 liters of water a day. However, drinking too little is also possible; the body usually reacts with reduced physical performance.
How do you lose fluids?
More significant fluid loss can occur through physical exertion, exercise, heavy sweating (e.g., in hot, dry environments), or mild diarrhea and vomiting. In such cases, you should specifically regulate the loss with effervescent electrolyte tablets, for example. Alcohol also disrupts your water and mineral balance due to its diuretic (water-inducing) effect. The common consequence is a typical "hangover." If you consume excessive amounts of alcohol, it's best to compensate for this in good time before going to bed with effervescent electrolyte tablets.
Electrolytes – balance is key
Electrolytes are chemical compounds that conduct electricity through the body in the form of ions, i.e., electrically charged molecules or atoms. Electrolytes are minerals that are divided into macro and trace elements depending on their abundance. Their functions include maintaining water balance, regulating blood pH, and supporting the function and interaction of muscle and nerve cells.
A distinction is made between intracellular and extracellular electrolytes. The former are deposited within the cells, while the latter circulate outside the cells, primarily in the bloodstream. A certain balance of electrolytes inside and outside the cells is crucial for the organism. If the electrolyte balance is disturbed by a deficiency or, more rarely, an excess of certain minerals, long-term health is significantly impaired.
Electrolytes are not produced by the body. Therefore, they must be consumed through drinks and other foods. People who lose a lot of sweat due to exertion or, for example, menopausal symptoms also lose electrolytes. Alcohol consumption, vomiting, or diarrhea also cause the body to lose valuable minerals, which should be consciously replenished. The most important electrolytes are the so-called biological electrolytes: chloride, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium, and phosphate.
Sodium, together with potassium, regulates water balance. This electrolyte also plays an important role in the transmission of nerve impulses and acid-base balance.
Potassium is the counterpart to sodium and ensures the maintenance of osmotic pressure in the cells and contributes to the maintenance of normal blood pressure.
Chloride plays a role in the distribution of water throughout the body by influencing osmotic pressure and acid-base balance. Chloride also contributes to normal digestion through the production of gastric acid.
Feeling vital and powerful depends on many factors. Among the most important are the rightSleep quality, balancedNutrition, regularMovementand an adequate supply ofVitamins,Mineralsandtrace elementsElectrolytes also play a key role in this. Their functions include maintaining water balance, regulating blood pH, and supporting the functionality and interaction of your muscle and nerve cells.
For fluid intake
The body does not produce electrolytes, so they must be consumed through drinks and other foods. Through greater exertion, intensive exercise, or even menopausal symptoms, a lot of sweat can be lost, as well as a lot of electrolytes.Vomit,DiarrheaorAlcohol consumptionyou lose a lot of fluid and therefore important minerals. If necessary, provide yourself with a balanced combination ofSodium, potassium, chloride and dextrose.
These practical effervescent tablets allow you to quickly prepare a carbohydrate-electrolyte solution with a delicious berry flavor. Medicom Electrolyte Effervescent Tablets are gluten- and lactose-free and suitable for vegetarian or vegan diets. They should be in every medicine cabinet and can be used immediately practically anywhere – even while traveling.
You ask – we answer
What exactly are electrolytes?
Electrolytesare chemical compounds that conduct electricity through the body in the form of ions, i.e. electrically charged molecules or atoms. Electrolytes are minerals that are divided into macro and trace elements depending on their abundance. Their functions include maintaining water balance, regulating blood pH, and supporting the functionality and interaction of muscle and nerve cells. A distinction is made between intracellular and extracellular electrolytes. The former are deposited within the cells, while the latter circulate outside of the cells, primarily in the bloodstream. A certain balance of electrolytes inside and outside the cells is crucial for the organism. If the electrolyte balance is disturbed due to a deficiency or, more rarely, an excess of individual minerals, health is significantly impaired in the long term.
Where does my body get electrolytes from?
Since the body doesn't produce electrolytes itself, they must be absorbed through food and beverages. Isotonic and electrolyte-rich drinks are well-known for athletes, but so are people with a so-called 'hangover': "I need electrolytes now!" These essential substances are found in mineral water, as well as vegetables, fruit, and milk. Soy products and coconut milk are also rich in electrolytes. Sodium is found primarily in salty foods.
What do I need sodium, potassium and chloride for?
Sodium, together with potassium, regulates water balance. This electrolyte also plays an important role in the transmission of nerve impulses and acid-base balance. Potassium, the counterpart of sodium, ensures the maintenance of osmotic pressure in cells and contributes to maintaining normal blood pressure. Chloride plays a role in the distribution of water in the body by influencing osmotic pressure and acid-base balance. Chloride also contributes to normal digestion through the production of gastric acid.
Am I lacking electrolytes?
More significant fluid loss can occur through physical exertion, exercise, heavy sweating, for example, due to hot, dry environments, or diarrhea and vomiting. In such cases, you should specifically regulate the loss. Alcohol also leads to an imbalance in water and mineral balance due to its diuretic (water-inducing) effect. The often fatal consequence is a typical "hangover," which you can counteract before or afterward with electrolytes.
